Just getting ready to open up here. We have heard reports of sometime between 4 30 and 5 00 so it looks like they are still finishing it up. But well keep an eye on this. Looks like they are opening up a couple of more lanes of the freeway so gene a double fatal accident so again, a double fatal accident in oakland had the potential to really snarl the traffic but looks like chp is getting the upper hand on it. As kiet mentioned, still no official eto. They had hoped by 5 00 but that deadline is passed. Three of four lanes are closed southbound. The accident happened around 16th. The lanes are blocked between broadway and 16th so we are seeing good sized delays from downtown oakland. If you want an alternate, 580 probably the best bet. Southbound nimitz freeway, right now up to 21 minutes between the maze and 238. It hasnt changed much in the last 10, 15 minutes. But if they reopen lanes, that will help the commute across that stretch of freeway. Bart is also another great option. So far, they got all trains on time. That is your latest kcbs traffic update. Heres lawrence with the weather. Go. Go. Go. First developing right now, as many as 40 tornadoes ripped through the midwest killing at least 6 people and injuring dozens more and now kpix 5 meteorologist Lawrence Karnow is here with more on yesterdays deadly storms. Yeah, guys. Terrible storms breaking out across the midwest. This is something more typically that you would see in springtime where you have that big transition of temperatures as we move into spring but now we have seen a secondary match in the other direction and we have storms rolling across the country. Looks like now they are headed toward the eastern seaboard. Still could break out into Severe Weather but doesnt look like conditions are as ripe as yesterday. Still, the storms were very scary and very deadly across the midwest. Reporter this town of about 10,000 people nearly destroyed as the storm ripped through washington illinois. A lot of people have a pile of rubble. I dont have anything. My whole its gone i dont know where it went reporter taken away by this tornado. The man recording this video prays as the twister engulfs houses not far from his. Illinois Emergency Management says in just two communities the storms destroyed at least 70 homes. Rescuers worked sunday to reach people trapped under the rubble hiding in their basements. Did sound like a freight train. We heard it. And i looked over my backwoods, i saw a debris field coming at me. Reporter mid broadcast in peoria, these news anchors had to cut their coverage and evacuate. We need to take shelter right now. We do. We need to go off the air. Well be back when we can. Reporter in lebanon, indiana, the wind flipped a car into the patio of the starbucks and blew out the windows of the building. The high winds from st. Louis to wisconsin to ohio knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. Most notably, 390,000 in michigan alone. For the numerous people who have lost their homes, the focus now will be on recovering what they can and rebuilding. And this is a hard time of year for this to happen, of course, because now the colder temperatures a lot of these folks are without homes, without power, it is going to be a very, very messy time for them to clean everything up. Going to take some time. Thank you, lawrence. The deadly weather had an impact on travel across the country, as well. We talked with some Airline Passengers who landed at sfo after being delayed. We got caught as the storm was coming in so we had to sit on the runway for about 45 minutes. Supposed to be in hawaii hours ago so we are going to make the best of it. My fiancee has never been to San Francisco. Some passengers tell us they were delayed by eight hours or more because of all that bad weather. In the philippines, some communities hit hard by typhoon haiyan appear to be shifting from survival mode to early recovery. But every time the government releases new numbers, the disaster just seems to get worse. Nearly 4,000 people are confirmed dead, almost 1600 are missing, more than 18,000 people are injured, and more than 4 million have been displaced and are in need of food, shelter and water. And generosity in the bay area is not letting up as people continue to donate food and supplies to help survivors of the typhoon. One of the biggest volunteer events was yesterday in san jose. The National Federation of filipinoamericans association held a drive at the north Side Community center. Volunteered collected food, clothing and other items. I know we have had a lot of drives this week and last week. That needs to keep going and this is our part to add one more dropoff place for folks ready to donate. Congressman mike honda of campbell was among many dignitaries at the event. He brought tshirts. The latest figures show more than 4 million survivors of the typhoon have been displaced. Happening today, growing concern about another bay area transit strike now that bart says a contract agreement contains a clause that should not have been included. Kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran joins you live from walnut creek with details on a new round of negotiations all set to begin today. Here we go again, cate. Reporter here we go again is right, frank. You know, youre right. The negotiations between bart and its unions are set for today and commuters more than any other key player in this dispute are hoping that todays session is not like ones we have seen in the past because as far as this new contract is concerned, we heard the two sides agreed on it. The unions ratified it but when it came down to that bart management vote, a mysterious provision is now putting a stop to implementing the new contract. The provision allows bart workers to take 6 weeks paid family leave and bart management says its a clause that could cost the Transit Agency an extra 44 million over four years. Some miscommunications and misunderstandings between staff and contracted parties resulted in this inadvertently being typed into the ta. We are absolutely disappointed, disgusted and put off by the boards actions. Reporter the unions say its closer to 5 million and the provision was meant to be included and there is no word if the unions are considering another strike. After the two sides meet today we do know that the bart board will meet thursday to consider its next move. Live from walnut creek, bart, back to you in the studio. 5 07. Bart has the option of absorbing the could see or offering the unions something in exchange. And theres no word on any Movement Regarding the ac transits labor situation. Unions and management are about halfway through their 60day coolingoff period ordered by governor brown. Ac transit mainly serves alameda and contra costa counties. San Francisco Police are trying to find a hitandrun driver who injured a bicyclist about 7 00 last night at 7th and mission. There is no information on the condition of the bicyclist. It was a white van that hit the bike rider. The van probably has front end damage and possibly a shattered window. San Francisco Police are also searching for a killer. Two women were shot inside a car in a parking lot at 6th and jesse south of market. It was a little after 2 a. M. Yesterday. One of the women was killed. The victims name hasnt been released. Doppler going to be busy . Finally. Looks like we have a chance of showers in the bay area, not today. Cloudy skies later on. But yeah, looks like things starting out quietly just partly cloudy skies now. Chilly in spots though. Hidef Doppler Radar looking for rain but none just yet. I think by this time tomorrow morning well probably be talking about rain at least in the north bay. Here we go. You can see the cold front off the coastline. It is going to be a slow mover getting here. Well see clouds on the increase throughout the day today. Out the door we go, partly cloudy skies over the bay right now. The temperatures getting cold especially in the north bay valleys, just above freezing at 33 degrees in santa rosa right now, 44 livermore, 50 in San Francisco. Temperatures this afternoon will be cooler. Plan on highs only in the 60s. 50s at the coastline. And low 60s inside the bay. Well have more on the prospects for rain coming up in a couple of minutes. Back to you. Thank you. 5 09. Nurses at the university of California StudentHealth Facilities and the uc hospitals wont be part of a oneday strike wednesday. Those nurses have a tentative contract agreement that calls for a 4 raise each year through 2017. Other workers are expected to strike wednesday. Tonight palo alto is expected to consider expanding its outdoor smoking ban. Earlier this year smoking was banned in parks and within 25 feet of building entrances. Now City Council Members want to include the downtown area and california avenue. A memo says extending the ban would reduce Secondhand Smoke and litter. Its safer for me and people with kids who can be affected by Secondhand Smoke in public. The next step would be to send the proposal to committee. Vallejo high school may be forced to get a new mascot. The school may be asked to drop the school name apache. Its been the name for decades but some indians find it offensive. The recommendation will be presented to the Vallejo City Unified SchoolDistrict Board at a meeting on wednesday. Tomorrow voters in the town of sonoma will decide whether to put limits on big hotels. Measure b would put a 25room limit on new hotels and prohibit existing hotels from expanding beyond 25 rooms. Supporters say it would preserve sonomas small town character.

No. But i saw michelle facebooking quite a bit late into the evening in fact. Who me . Yeah. [ laughter ] we have a pretty serious situation going on in oakland. Only one lane is open right now the far right lane southbound 880 on the nimitz freeway. You a double fatal collision overnight. Sweepers are on the scene and emergency crews. The car hit a big rig went over the Center Divide and hit another car head on in the southbound lanes. Lets check the maps and live traffic sensors to show you gridlock, right around 980 interchange. So avoid this. Traffic is slow. Speeds below 25 miles an hour. Chp says that big rigs can use 580 until 6 00 this morning. So it sounds like they expect those lanes to be closed a little while longer. In the meantime, the drive time southbound 880 the maze to 238 still around 21 minutes so bart is also another good option. We checked in with them, so far all trains including those through oakland are on time. Heres a look at the bay bridge. The commute hasnt started at the toll plaza, no big problems into San Francisco. Westbound 580 looks good so far but just seeing a few tapping of the brake lights as you leave tracy towards the altamont pass. Thats your also kcbs traffic. For your forecast, a rainy one, heres lawrence. Got some showers in the forecast. Think well hold off on that today. Right now our hidef Doppler Radar is checking out your skies. So far, it is clear of any rain but we have a couple of clouds out there. In fact, some fog showing up in the napa and santa rosa area this morning so watch out for that early on. Temperaturewise a little chilly in spots. Numbers in the 30s, 40s and 50s. Partly cloudy skies. This afternoon, we are going to see some cooler temperatures maybe some mid60s but increasing clouds late in the day. You will see temperatures in the 50s at the coast and low 60s inside the bay. High pressure scooting out of the way here and you have the cold front off the coastline. Going to take 24 hours before we really see it move onshore to bring rain. So with that in mind, rain arriving early tomorrow morning probably about the time well be looking at Doppler Radar with showers on the monitor. All right. Throughout the day today, we are going to see an increase in some of the clouds from the cold front approaching the bay area but wait until tomorrow morning, this is 7 a. M. Tomorrow morning well see rainfall. Then unsettled through tuesday and maybe some leftover showers right into wednesday, as well. So with that in mind, we have the storm moving in, not going to be the biggest one we have ever seen, maybe a 10th inch in pacifica, quarter inch in San Francisco and the further north you go the more you get. Maybe as much as an inch of rain towards santa rosa. So around the bay area, dry today, 50s and 60s, mid60s in the warmest spots. And then looking out over the next couple of days, havent seen much of this but a chance of showers on tuesday and wednesday. Dry weather thursday. By the weekend, offshore winds kick in those temperatures back up into the low 70s inland. Wow. So one extreme to another. Looks like it. All right, lawrence. Thanks. 5 18 now.
